Your turbo very well could be on the way out. It does happen, unfortunately. Sometimes, the initial assessment may make you think it's a turbo issue, but it can actually turn out to be an injector issue, as well. And the Detroits prior to the DD13/15/16 are, unfortunately, the ones least familiar to me, but if it's using a variable geometry turbo or a wastegate system, your issue may lie there, as well. The simple fact is that you really can't be given an accurate diagnosis on this remotely... it has to be hands on. If you don't know how to troubleshoot and repair it, a shop will be your only option. If you're in the Denver area, I can take my ProLink and pull DTCs to see if there's any codes related to it, but I can't tell you for certain what the problem is - especially not knowing what year and what emissions standards that engine was built to - from afar.

Need to know what engine you have in order to answer this. In 2003, Freightliner had the option of Detroit, Cummins, Caterpillar, and Mercedes-Benz diesel engines.
The labor time to install the bull gear and air compressor on a 2001 Freightliner Columbia with a Detroit 60 Series engine typically ranges from 6 to 10 hours, depending on the technician's experience and the specific conditions of the vehicle. Factors such as accessibility, existing wear or damage, and additional repairs needed can also affect the total time required. Always consult a service manual or professional for the most accurate estimates.
Need an engine make and model to answer this. You either have a Detroit Diesel, Mercedes Benz, Cummins, or Caterpillar engine.

About 10 1/2 gals. If it's a Detroit engine. I'd start with 10 gals. Catapillar engine about 12 Gals.
RTC or batery backup low ..thank
You left the important piece of information out - the engine make and model. The FLD120 was available with a number of engine options from Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, and Cummins.
You should get these codes flashed at you when you sit with the motor off, and the key in the 'ACC' position. You hold up the cruise control button until the codes start flashing at you - yellow for minor faults, red for major faults. Call any Freightliner/Sterling/Western Star dealership, or any diesel repair shop certified to work on Detroit Diesel motors, and they can tell you exactly what your fault codes mean.
To reset the ECM (Engine Control Module) on a Freightliner Columbia, you can start by disconnecting the negative battery cable and leaving it disconnected for about 15 minutes. This will allow the ECM to reset. After reconnecting the cable, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine for a few seconds, and then start the vehicle. This process clears any temporary codes and resets the system.
I believe it wasn't until 2001 or 2002 that the engine fans on the Detroit diesels came on automatically when the temperature rose. You're probably required to flip the engine fan switch on manually.
I'm assuming you mean 12.7 Detroit Diesel 60 Series engine? IIRC, it's 11 gallons.
